Continuing evaluation of the remaining copper mineralisation potential of mining claims and surrounding areas at the historic Mountain-of-Light copper mine prospect has consisted of geological mapping and some random geochemical sampling, plus the...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

Cultana is located on parts of the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, northern Spencer Gulf and south-western Flinders Ranges, and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoarchaean-Mesoproterozoic Gawler Craton, the Neoproterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline, Torrens...

Previously detected low-level geochemical anomalies for Cu, Pb and Zn were confirmed by follow-up stream sediment and soil sampling. Field inspections were made by helicopter of selected anomalous areas in the Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian...

Hallett Cove is one of South Australia’s foremost natural science treasures. Exposed examples for prime geological concepts of superposition of strata, depositional unconformities (representing time breaks), and folding and faulting of sedimentary...

This report describes the results of a MESA consultant's second generation regional geological mapping and drillhole data interpretation work for the Roopena and Uno 1:100 000 sheets on PORT AUGUSTA, performed during 1993 and 1994 as part of the SAEI...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 26/2/2003 from a survey...

Preparation of lightweight aggregate from a sample of Tapleys Hill shale, as successfully achieved by 'bloating' (the expansion of a viscous melt of crushed rock particles by trapped gas released during fusion in a rotary kiln), is described. Six...

Results of multi-element assaying of drill core samples from Seltrust's earlier completed diamond drillhole SAD1 showed only weak La, Sr and Ce anomalies in the Gawler Range Volcanics. The potential for discovery of a base metal orebody is now...

Exploration for structurally controlled Cu mineralisation near Witchelina Homestead and Breaden Hill, 20 km south-west of Marree, comprised detailed geological mapping of prospect areas, soil and rock chip geochemical sampling of gossans and of...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound gold in the basal Tarcowie Siltstone that was conducted within the Paratoo Anticline east of Yunta comprised geochemical sampling (70 stream sediment samples, plus 25 rock chip samples). Anomalous copper,...

At the historic Bird-In-Hand mining claim, where previous mine exploration drilling beneath the old workings by current licence operator Maximus Resources had delineated an inferred remaining gold resource of 53,000 ounces over the depth extent from...

An area centred approximately 70 km north-east of Hawker has been explored by E-Z for possible economic stratabound lead-zinc deposits. The company's evaluation of the results of base metal exploration carried out previously in the Flinders Ranges had...

Exploration for possible economic carbonate sediment-hosted Carlin style hydrothermal gold and copper mineralisation in the Mount Stuart - Patawarta Gap area of the Flinders Ranges has comprised soil, rock chip and stream sediment sampling, the...

Exploration for diamonds, undertaken in an area centred 60 km east-northeast of Lyndhurst which had not been searched for this commodity previously, comprised the acquisition of aeromagnetic/radiometric and helimag surveys, and gravel and loam...

The primary exploration target in an area located about 20 km south of Olary is the stratigraphic contact between the Late Proterozoic Tapley Hill Formation and the Tarcowie Siltstone, selected for its potential to host stratabound, Telfer - type...

Anomalous gold values in the range 10-130 ppb were detected in soil samples at the Eukaby mining field, from a set of 1 km spaced geochemical traverses sampled at 50 metre intervals over 24 line km. Follow-up geochemical work to pinpoint sites of...

A discrete gravity low centred on Hiles Lagoon, which is a quite unusual topographic feature located 30 km east of Jamestown, that exists within a district where several kimberlite intrusions are known, was the target of resumed diamond exploration....

8 diamond drillholes totalling 1597 feet were drilled to test for buried lode extensions at the Avondale lead-zinc mine and for hydrothermal copper mineralisation possibly associated with diorite dykes at the Belliack prospect, where anomalous rock...

Targets sought were either low to medium grade, high tonnage stockwork gold similar to that at the Eukaby Hill mine, or, high grade, low to medium tonnage quartz vein systems similar to that at the Saltbush Flat mine. Work consisted of an orientation...
